Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif destiné à réguler un écoulement dans une conduite sous pression. Ce dispositif comprend un passage d'écoulement possédant une première extrémité et une seconde extrémité, ainsi qu'un obturateur destiné à réduire l'écoulement dans le passage d'écoulement, cet obturateur étant conçu pour se déplacer entre une première et une seconde position sous l'effet d'une différence de pression entre la première extrémité et la seconde extrémité du passage d'écoulement. La réduction de l'écoulement dans le passage d'écoulement est plus importante quand l'obturateur se trouve dans la première ou la seconde position que quand il se trouve dans une position intermédiaire entre lesdites première et seconde positions. On obtient ainsi une soupape de sûreté améliorée permettant de bloquer l'écoulement dans les deux sens à l'intérieur d'une conduite.

Granted: 2011-10-11
Abstract: A write once disc allowing management of a data area, a method of managing the data area of the write once disc, an apparatus recording data on the write once disc, an apparatus and method of reproducing data from a write once disc.  The write once disc, includes a lead-in zone, a data area, and a lead-out zone. The write once disc includes a predetermined area storing area allocation information which indicates whether at least one section of the data area is allocated for disc defect management. In the disc and method, area allocation information specifying a structure of the data area is recorded on the disc, thus allowing a recording/reproducing apparatus to recognize the data area structure. Therefore, allocating areas, such as a spare area, for disc defect management other than an area for storing user data, to the data area is possible. The allocation of the areas for disc defect management to the data area enables effective use of the write once disc.

Abstract: Electronic stroke indicators have sensor structures (34, 60, 80, 110) which are incorporated into a stone shield (28, 62, 82, 116) for a brake actuator (20). The incorporation of the sensor (34, 66, 119) stone shield (28, 62, 116) protects the sensor (34, 60, 119) and its associated wires (50, 69, 121) and contacts from damage by the other components in the brake actuator (20). In particular, the spring is typically maintained out of contact with any of the electric portions of the electronic stroke indicator, thus prolonging the life of the electronic stroke indicator. In further features of this invention, a magnetic sensor (34) may monitor the position of magnetic portions (36) on a piston rod (32). Alternatively, a pair of electric contact switches (96, 98) may be serially contacted by a structure on the piston rod (94) as the broke moves further out of stroke. The two electric contacts (96, 98) provide different signals to an operator in a vehicle cab such that signals of the level of out-of-stroke conditions are provided to the operator. In a further embodiment, a load cell (119) monitors the compression in a spring (112) in the brake housing (111) to provide an indication of an out-of-stroke condition.

Abstract: A variable displacement vane pump includes at least two regulation chambers to provide a regulating force to the cam ring, to counter the force applied to the cam ring by a regulating spring, to reduce pulsation in the output working fluid from the pump. A first one of the chambers is part of the pump outlet and is in fluid communication with the outlet port of the pump via a passage which allows the pump to be fabricated from a diecast process oath like. A  second regulation chamber is connected to the first chamber via an orifice which reduces the pressure of working fluid supplied from the first chamber to the second. The configuration and design of pumps in accordance with the present invention allows for flexible packaging for the pump, as the outlet need not overlie the pump outlet. Further, a pump with an inlet port with a relatively large initial cross-sectional flow area is taught to inhibit cavitation of the working fluid when the pump is operated at higher operating speeds.
